Cognac is the essence of French refinement – ​​a spirit created with precision, tradition and respect for time. At Whiskystack, we have put together an exclusive selection of cognacs that embraces both the classic houses and modern interpretations, so you can find just the style that suits you.

Cognac is produced in the Cognac region of western France and is distilled from grapes, typically Ugni Blanc, before being aged in oak barrels. The result is a smooth, complex and aromatic spirit with notes of dried fruit, vanilla, spices and sometimes floral or chocolatey nuances – depending on age and style.

Whether you prefer a fruity VS, a smooth and round VSOP or a deep XO with a long aftertaste, you will find the right bottle here. Cognac is suitable for pure enjoyment, as an avec after dinner or in well-composed cocktails. It is also a classy gift idea for those who appreciate classic elegance in the glass.

At Whiskystack, we only choose cognac with character and quality – regardless of price range.
